ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the changes on non-contrast CT of the head in patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke and its unfavorable outcome within 90 days. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The retrospective analysis of the clinical, demographic parameters and results of CT of the head of all patients admitted to the stroke unit of the district hospital between January 2015 and December 2021 was performed. The data of 131 patients were included in the work (52% males), average age was 65.75±14.1. RESULTS: Fatal outcomes were recorded in 13.7% of cases. The age of the patient, severity of neurological deficit and CT-signs predicting hematoma expansion were independent predictors of unfavorable outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke within 90 days. CONCLUSION: Detection of the sings predicting hematoma enlargement on CT scans improves prognostication of the outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke.
